Kidney cancer is among the top 3 most common cancers among urological cancers. At the beginning of the factors that cause kidney cancer is the use of cigarettes and tobacco products.
According to recent studies, obesity also causes kidney cancer. In addition, those with a family history of kidney cancer and patients receiving routine hemodialysis treatment due to chronic kidney failure are also at risk of developing kidney cancer. Kidney cancer is mainly seen in men, while according to recent studies, the incidence of this disease has also increased in women.
A large proportion of patients diagnosed with kidney cancer continue their lives without any symptoms. It is often detected by chance as a result of ultrasonography, MRI and tomography taken due to other discomfort and complaints. In these patients, kidney masses are usually at an early stage and appear as small kidney masses. In patients admitted at a later stage, there are mainly complaints such as bleeding in the urine, weight loss, fatigue and bone pain.
.
TREATMENT IS PLANNED ACCORDING TO THE COURSE OF THE DISEASE
In patients whose metastases are not detected and who are admitted only with kidney mass, it may be decided to remove only the mass or remove the kidney completely, depending on the location and size of the mass. In patients detected with metastasis, according to the intensity of metastasis and the general condition of the patient, treatment planning with surgical removal of the kidney and smart drug treatment for metastases with it will be appropriate.
Drugs developed with the principle of targeted treatment, and finally the use of drugs that regulate the immune system, find a place in daily practice, and results in the treatment of the disease can be achieved.
goal in breast cancer operations is to save the kidney by removing the mass. In kidney cancer operations, the goal is to save the kidney by removing the mass Because patients usually resort to small kidney masses detected by chance in imaging for other reasons, without any symptoms or complaints, it is also possible to save the kidney only by removing the mass. The main goal of UroOncology in Turkey specialists engaged in the treatment of this disease is to protect the cancer-free kidney tissue as much as possible. It is usually possible to achieve this goal with developing surgical techniques.
In the surgical treatment of kidney cancer, laparoscopic and robotic assisted laparoscopic surgeries, known as closed methods, both in kidney protective operations and in operations where the kidney is completely removed, are often and successfully performed both in our country and all over the world.
Those with a family history of kidney cancer should not neglect regular checks. In order to prevent kidney cancer, it is necessary to avoid all tobacco products, especially cigarettes. Avoiding obesity as well as smoking, a balanced diet and regular exercise are the most sensible and viable preventive approaches for today. Family members with a family history of kidney cancer should not neglect their screening and control. In addition, because they have increased risks compared to normal, it is important that hemodialysis patients are also monitored at certain intervals with imaging for possible kidney mass.
